Posted: 7/16/2009 5:23:12 PM | I love watching two hairy guys go at it, so I guess I'm a homosexual man with a vagina.
And boobies.
And xx chromosones.

Also, I think Kinsey felt that 0 tended towards homophobia. He was a fascinating scientist though - totally worth checking out the movie Kinsey. | |

I doubt it, since homophobia is a relatively new word. Kinsey felt that all points of the scale were healthy, even though he himself was bisexual. The shame and self loathing of many bisexuals and homosexuals (needless shame at that) is where the myth of full heterosexuality not being normal comes from. It's a coping mechanism, used to make gays and bisexuals feel better about themselves. It's no different for homosexuals to judge straight people, and presume to know their minds, than it is for straights to presume to understand homosexuality. We all have our opinions, but in the end, that's all they really are. Those opinions are almost invariably shaped by our desire to support our own decisions in life... Our lifestyles and our personal perspectives of Life and Living. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 12:48:48 PM | | I identify as 0.5 on the Kinsey scale. I kissed a dude once, for a joke, when I was like 14 or 15. Also, I think Neil Patrick Harris is hot. Carson Kressley too, now I think of it. But in all seriousness, I'm just not interested enough to actually play gay for a day. | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 10:29:35 PM | I'm a big zero on this scale.
I used to get picked on by my friends for not joining in with their faux-lesbian groping and kissing on the dance floor. It's just not me, and I'm not sure it's them either. Even with my closest friends I don't know how many really like other girls, and how many are just pretending to, to get attention from men. | |

Posted: 7/24/2009 5:24:00 PM | Well.
Umm
I am about 210 on my scale but that changes after a decentBM. I look at my BM's... does that make me gay?
Why is everyone so worried about gayness... All these threads about Milking the prostrate, fingers in the bung hole... strap ons... etc etc
I like girls. They have all the nummy stuff I like. Guys... ahh not so much, but it's ok if you're into it... doesn't bug me a bit.
That said, I think there are some great looking men out there. DO I want to kiss them? Not when I am sober... I MEAN NEVER!!!!
too many homophobes out there imho. | |

Posted: 7/24/2009 9:39:05 PM | | I'm #3, a genuine bi-sexual. A lot of people claim they are bi-sexual because they don't understand what the term means. A genuine bi-sexual is someone who is attracted to both sexually. | |

Posted: 7/24/2009 9:49:19 PM | Ok, not sure where I fit on the scale... I am totally in love with my man. However, I 'Went to College' as they say, back in my twenties and dabbled with some female relationships. I enjoyed them, but wandered my way right back to men. Women were nice at the time, I was in the 'She-male Man-Haters Club' at that point after being in several abusive relationships, and the relationships with women were a nice change. But I don't want a woman now, no threesomes, none of that for me. So, I guess it is possible to change numbers as we grow and mature.

Posted: 7/24/2009 11:01:58 PM | How about the scale sucks big time because Kinsey made many assumptions in his research that have later proved to be wrong. In this one, Kinsey was openly bi-sexual and believed it to be the norm. It is extremely hard to do one to one interviews which was Kinsey's method of acquiring data and not letting personal biases interfere.
I don't even fit on the scale at all. I'm not homophobic, don't see anything wrong with being gay or bi-sexual, would have no objection to homosexual activity except for one big thing that would get in my way, I simply do not find men's body's attractive and I certainly find women's bodies very attractive. As best as I can figure out on that scale I'd be a 1 but only because I see nothing wrong with the concept or theory. I don't like the concept of absolutes in human behaviour so wouldn't like 0 much either. How about a half. Heterosexual without seeing anything wrong with the concept of bi-sexual or homosexual leanings or action.
As to the number of homosexuals in western society, I don't think anyone can be accurate in this one because people lie in research and admitting to a stranger you are gay or a lesbian may be quite difficult for some people. It does seem that it is around 10% of the adult population or a little less but can be higher for some regions because of other issues such as being in a more tolerant society that a large city provides as opposed to a small town. | |

Posted: 7/24/2009 11:31:39 PM | Kinsey might have been criticized, but much of the criticism came from right wing Christians who were aghast at the concept of any form of male-male sexuality. In Kinsey's day, a man was always supposed to be 100% heterosexual, and that was that.
Keep in mind that no scientist who deals with human subjects is ever going to have a perfect study.
As for the word "bisexual", I find it irritating in the sense that it suggests a half/half ratio. In actual fact, most bisexuals lean more towards one gender than the other. | |

Posted: 7/25/2009 6:26:53 PM | | #2 I think everyone on this planet is a little bit bisexual. If you say you aren't you are just lying. Before puberty I was interested in both girls and guys. Then when the hormones kicked in I only desired of having sex with a girl. I think that some guys are good looking but I know I wouldn't like having sex with a guy. The kissing part would be really hard to do. I would go limp alot. And I wouldn't enjoy getting banged in the ass or banging some guy or even girl in the ass. If a girl wants that done I'll buy her a dildo. But just because I won't have sex with a guy does not mean I never thought about it. It's all about desire and I don't desire men even though some guys are goodlooking . That is normal and yes I am a real man. | |

Posted: 7/25/2009 6:53:14 PM | | Sure is a lot if diversity around here.... And dishonesty -- at least based on the numbers most surveys yield for the scale responses -- even in the 1950s when homosexuality was effectively illegal in most parts of North America. One of the flaws of the Kinsey model -- and there are many flaws is the the polar nature of the hetro-homosexual with bisexuality in the middle. True bisexuals are not blended hetro and homosexual -- but are quite different from both groups so the continuum model is quite inappropriate and misleading -- for example where chart people who feel very little if any sexual attraction to either gender. | |

Kinsey might have been criticized, but much of the criticism came from right wing Christians
You're right about the problem with dealing with human subjects. It was the scale I was criticising not Kinsey. The continuum scale that he created doesn't fit a great deal of people and since the interviews made it plain that it was desires not action and desires at any time during the past people tended pick numbers higher than fitted their current adult behaviour. However, considering Kinsey's expertise was in fruit flies and he fell into human sexuality almost by accident, his research was amazing, aside from anything else establishing that women were sexual beings with very independent thoughts.
Considering the times this research was carried out I don't think right wing Christians were the primary critics. Kinsey seemed to be criticised and condemned at the time by just about everyone. Didn't stop his report being a massive hit nor from having a huge impact. Where he was later found to be wrong was in degrees and in such things as this scale. Kinsey and his researchers, while they interviewed as many people from as many walks of life as they could tended to be very interested in the extremes and that seemed to have skewered the results somewhat.
Still think I'm a 0.5. | |
